A Bad Man.

There was man in the sleeping car
whom we all picked out as a gambler
or worse. He had face on him which
seemed to express nothing but vice,
and his voice would have frightened n
baby into crying spell. Some of the
passengers went so far as to say that
he would probably try to rob us in the
night. and the porter was cautioned to
keep an eye on him. As we were
turning in one after another. an
old rustic who had been doing in
his seat for the last fifty miles got ur
with yawn and said to the gambler;
Say, nabur I've got 5000 with me.
and they say these cars hain't safe.
I wish you'd take charge Of the money
until morning"
Very Well" was tho quiet reply.
We were thunderstruck. The old
man was winked into the Mushroom
and told of our suspicious. and advised
to give his money to the conductor, but
~ sturdlly replied:
why, that fellow is as honest as my
yoke Of cattle, and shall let him keep
the money"
We went to bed believing the old
man was victim, and that he deserved
to be. The stranger would get of al
some station during the night, of course,
and there'd be pretty row in the morn.
ing. But when morning came he was
there. He was also the first one up.
When old rustic got up his money was
handed to him without q word.
"Well," said one as VIC were wash
ing up, 'this beats all my record"
"Oh!I knowed he was all right"
smiled the old man.
But how did you know itP"
why he's my own brother!"-De.

down where Isabella, upon her knees, was
praying the Virgin to shield and aid her
love and her friend. He laid him upon the
ground beside her, and for the first time
tears gushed from her eyes, as she kissed
the lips of her almost lifeless husband and
upon her bosom laid his head.
Then she looked up at Comes, her friend,
but she could not say one word. She saw
that the hair was nearly burned off his
head and that his hands and face were all
in blisters. She ran to the well and got
water, and tearing her dress, she bound
the Captains hands In the cool wetted
strips Then she bathed her husbands
head and face, and moaned and prayed
over him, while the little child rested on
his breast

little daughter and bade her kiss him.
The child willingly put her tiny arms
about his neck and pressed hcr pure lips
to his own, and the stern, strong man
trembled to his feet
Isabella stopped down, with the bright
his blistered hands.

ward your was all she could say.

He repaired to the camp, found. the CON-

quietly: 81 promised to deliver you the

Then the Lieutenant understood all.
''I know what you have done-I can see
it in yopr face. You are noble gentle
man. Never was so happy to call a man

''No," answered Comes. ''that would in

HOTEL CLERKS. =,
How One of Them Was Beautifully Taken

'sIll tell you why the newspapers
ridicule clerks so numerically" said a
member of that much abused profession
to Washington correspondent the

and you can do It while your mind Is really

to the briefe5t po ,sible formula. These he
rattles of in a perfunctory, uniuterested
way To all inquirers, inciuling ncwspa per
men. The newspaper men get an idea they
have not received sufficient attention, and
Immediately jump TO the conclusion that
the hotel clerks abstracted manner Is duo
tn solf-conceit, whom it is simply a result
of systematizing his work" .
There's great deal in this, but the fact
remains that in some unacco1ntablc man,

young ones, absorb the idea that they are

above the necessity which other business

POPPING CORN.

When winds were raging in their ire
One night in February,
I sat before CHEEKY fire
A-popping corn with Mary.
I'm willing to admit my mind
Was not upon the pepper;
For corn, you'll be surprised to ind,
Ididn't care a copper.
A knotty problem for a score
OF months had sorely vexed mo;
The more ponderel it, the more
The puzzling thing perplexed me.
ibid Mary love me?'-such the sum
That set my brain a-riot,
That tortured me with ceaseless hum
And would not leave me quiet.
A merry voice cried suddenly:
'Stopl stopl the corn is burningr
From out my troublous revery
Iroused, and, quickly turning,
Beheld smile, but not of scorn;
So needing her suggestion,
Ispeedily stopped popping corn
And boldly popped the question.

The CLEAN of the Opal.

The opal has conquered superstition. It
has CLEANED in all its evasive beauty this
season, and yet not a reproach has been
cast upon the witchery, whether in ring
or in scarf-pin- But there are good opals,
and though only one ia thousand brings
bad luck to its possessor, beware OF the
opal with dark red gleam in its smoky
depths. 'Tis an imp that turks there, and
he is full OF devfitry and mischief. An
opal with pale emerald lights mingled
with its changing fires seems to have a
'sgood spirit imprisoned in its bosom, and
looks as virtuous and pure as any pearl
dragged from the ocean

Across Siberia by Rail.

For many years railroad across Sibe-
ria has been projected, and now, according
to semi-ofiicial announcement from st.
Petersburg, the undertaking is really to be
begun. In view of the circumstances il is
matter of surprise that the work has been
SO long delayed. No great engineering diff
culties will be encountered, and the advan-
tages both military and commercial of rail
road communication between the two ex-
tremities of the Russian Empire can
scarcely be overestimated. If the road is
built one of the last remaining citadels of
ocean commerce will be invaded. At pres
ent the rich trade of the Pacific coast of
Asia Is handled by shippers. But trans
continental railroad across Asia would
prove formidable competitor. Shang-
hal rs about forty days from London
by steamship schedule time. By rail,
through Siberia, this period would he
shortened almost one-half 1t is announced
that the journey from St. Petersburg to
Yladivostock will be made in fifteen DAYS.
From seven to ten days would be a liberal
allowance OF time in which to complete
the trip from the English to the Chinese
metropolis, so that a very consider
cradle saving of time would be made.
The same would be true, also, of the entire
trade of Japan with Europe, as Vladivo-
stock is as near to Japanese ports as is
Shanghai. By railroad, therefore, passen-
gers and goods from London might be
taken to Yokohama in twenty five or thirty
days, instead of forty-ive or fifty, as now.
